would you marry a stripper? How would you feel if the person you loved who works at a conventional job, confided in you that he or she used to be a stripper, would your feelings change for him or her? would you accept the situation knowing it is in the past, or would you stop dating him or her, what if you were already married after you found out, what would you do?

Well Winterrose, I don't mind marrying a stripper provided that he or she has changed. Married is about love and there is a saying, "Love is blind" and therefore I don't think anyone cares about a stripper or what so long as you love him or her and he or she also love the way you do.

Sometime people say that love is blind :) and remember that people will change with someone help. Other thing you can do is, you need to pray for GOD. Ask GOD to help you to open mind, hearts and teach you how and what to.. :)

Hello winterose,Thanks for your interesting discussion, I dont think marriage takes place the second day of love at first sight,even if the marriage is arranged the girl or the guy should never hide this history with whom she/he going to marry and spend her/his entire life to build a famaly,if someone hides the real fact from a doctor the doctor will take much more time in diagnosis if its a STD or a general skin infection, like that if the husband/wife is aware of the fact from the begining that his/her wouldbe wife/husband used tobe a stripper then he/she will be be prepared with proper planning to face the soceity in future if ever sudden situation arise.Hiding this fact is cheating.Thanks

i would marry a stripper if i really got to know her well enough that i could overcome and ignore the fact that she used to be a stripper. i would marry her because if i love her, that means that no matter what she did in the past and as long as she confides it to me before our marriage, i would be willing to put those matters aside and look at a brighter future for we can make our future the ways we want to.

Strippers are people, too. Personally, I'd rather not marry an active stripper. However, if he had been a stripper in the past, I think my decision about his character would depend on why he was a stripper. My daughter was a topless dancer at one time. It didn't change her character. She was in it for the money and even though she hated the job, the money was more important to her at the time. If a man and I were married and I found out that he had been a stripper in the past, I'd chalk it up to the past -- now it's over -- let's move on. I might wonder why he hadn't told me before we got married. It could be he didn't think about it. It doesn't mean he was deceitful.

when a person is trusted, their background really doesn't matter. Would you marry a man who has been divorced three times? I DID!!! He told me all the details of his past, and I have met and communicated with a couple of his ex-wives when issues arose with the children, and we got through everything just fine. We were honest and upfront with eachother from the very start, about everything. Mom was worried about his divorces, but I was not. My mother met a stripper once (the girls took her out years ago!!!) and they talked for a bit, Turns out the guy was just trying to work his way through college. Would you marry a man who may have killed another man? I did. My husband was drafted, and really had no choice but to fight in Viet Nam. We talked about that too. I won't just people I love and trust by their pasts. If I did, I don't see how Walker's and my relationship could have ever worked out.

If it's in the past, then to me it would be in the past. I think that love should be stronger than issues like that, because it's more about the now as opposed to the past. A lot of people make mistakes and I don't like to judge people about their lives before I knew them, I tend to focus on the relationship I have with someone. It's about love for me... the person would be open with me and talk to me about it, then it's all good.

I don't think I would let it bother me if I knew they truly loved me and meant well by not saying anything about it. As long as they did not do nasty things and only stripped down so far, then it would be ok, I guess. It would be more acceptable. If they did more than take off a few things and they actually accepted money for other things, then I would more than likely break it off. I don't go for those kinds of things, be it man or woman. You have to have respect for yourself.

If you love her you love the person she has become. If she is no longer doing this why should you worry about her having done it in the past. I would definitely discuss this with her and among the things I would discuss is why did she not tell me before marring me. My feelings would not change. Not if I was truly in love with her. That is not to say that I would not be hurt by her not telling me. But it is a hurdle that I feel could be over come. Just talk to each other and air out the factor of not being told. The stripper part of it I could live with.

I think one has to know that the other party is also human who needs companionship, love and care. It does not matter what occupation he / she is in. Besides, what you have mentioned is a past you discovered later in your r/s and/or marriage. I felt that if the person has already stopped this job it means that they are mindful of your feelings and most of all has found someone who will not mind their past. You need to regard that the past is history and we should never look back (which is of no use). Rather we should be looking forward towards the future and fufill our daily responsibilities and commitment for each other.

I started stripping after I was married. About 5 years after. He was fine with it and we needed the money. I did it for 5 years liked it to an extent, but i'm glad i'm out of it. It payed for my school. My husband was fine with it (though he had his doubts at time, which is to be expected), So i'm sure doing it before you were married it would be fine. Its in the past right. Everyone has something in their past they don't like. You can't change what happened in the past just do better for the future.

Don't be kiding. Who will marry a woman who will flirt with anyone and sleep with every man. It is awful to marry such a woman unless you want to share your wife with others.

I am not kidding and lots of people do marry strippers, which can be men as well. Many strippers are students working their way through school and do not sleep with men or women to do their job

Hmm . I would date one maybe . I would have to see though . If I love them and they were a good person . If I found out my soon to be hubby used to be one and he was keeping it from me I would be in shock and just laugh . You know some maybe to shy to share . And for the most part the past is the past . Unless it is something so bad .
